Friends,
Recently upgraded NBU Master to 7.6.0.3 following the clients and have come across this problem.
Policy A: Backing up ALL_LOCAL_Drives
Client: Has 6 Drives (C:D:E:F:G:H:K:)
Client used to have an another drive P: but that had been removed. Backups been working fine. Upgraded to 7.6.0.3 now whenever the backup runs either full/incremental it sees the P: drive in the parent job log and says exluding P: drive as it either doesn't exist of not accessible? Backup runs and P: drive job fails with 71.
Interestingly if you go to BAR GUI on the client and click select for backup it doesn't show the P: drive there. so why bpbkar picking it up?
I have also tried to exclude the P: drive but no joy still 71..
I have tested the backup by creating new policy and it worked fine but i want to know why it's not working with the old policy (policy corruption maybe?)
any thoughts?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Not sure this will work, but try :
nbpemreq -updatepolicies
What does bpmount say when run from the client ?

Look on the master server under /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images/<client-name> for STREAMS files.
Delete all of them before the next Full backup.
I have seen these STREAMS files causing issues even back in NBU 5.x days.

Thanks Nicolai. Have been troubleshooting (played with exclusions. stop/start the services both client and master, created a new policy and tested backup etc) and also run this command as well.. not sure what have fixed it but its okay now. Just ran a full and incremental and all looks good. will mark your decision as solution. :) Cheers!

Thanks Marianne.
Intersting, Just had a look and can see the P:\ stream there. However, i have just tested the full and incr and P: didn't get picked up.
will removing the contents of this file cause any issues to the schedules backups, (incrementals due)
